Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Miami is a world away. In fact like a whole other country. Fort Lauderdale is in Broward. Miami is in Dade County.

re: Riding in Naples, FL.
My "stock ride" is from Gulf Shore Boulevard North (extreme north end) to the south end of Gordon Road, then I add mileage by wandering all over Port Royal. It's about 24-25 miles. I heard that there is an organized ride led by the Bike Shop in Pavilion Shopping Center twice a week, but have never done that.

Miami, the best place to ride in the tri-county area, here.

Send me a private message if you'd like to ride. Trip tomorrow am to Key Biscayne and maybe on to South Beach if I have any endurance after being off the bike for three weeks.

Great time to ride Key Biscayne after work with daylight savings time on.

We hope to be on Sanibel for two weeks in early June...that is "if" our time share's roof is back on. I hate to miss a June down there, but that just might happen.
